    Basically MBA Course Normally had Marketing / HR / Finance Specializations there are Systems and IT Specializations also available but we have complete courses like MCA/ MCM/ MSc Computer where more detail course is imparted. Thats why MBA with IT or Systems Students fine themselves little less competent technically as their first year is non technical and only two or three subjects of computer / IT in second year

    In my opinion MBA in IT is the best specialization for IT graduates, as this course is designed to educate and develop students who can effectively manage the planning, design, selection, implementation, use, and administration of emerging and converging information and communications technologies.
